Radiator Fan On Full Time!

Post by tabercro »

Hi All,

I'm just finishing up front oil seals and a timing belt. When I went to start it and check over my work, I noticed that the electric fan goes on as soon as the key is turned. This is not the way it was, and I'm pretty sure the only electrical connections that I disturbed in this process were the fan plug and the temp sensor in the head. Any thoughts on why the fan wouldn't be working correctly?

Thanks in advance!

If I remember correctly, the fan switch is on the lower corner of the radiator. Maybe you left if disconnected?

I did miss that! It was tucked up out of the way and I forgot it when I put the radiator back in.

Thanks!
